Along with their parents, our sense of urgency in discipleship tends to increase the closer our youth get to graduation. During these crucial years our goal is to fill in the categories that have been formed up to this point in their upbringing. In a sense, we want to put ballast or weight in their boats so they will have stability as they sail out into life’s storms.

DISCIPLESHIP IN THE HOME

Discipling happens through teaching and modeling. It is important for parents to teach their youth about Jesus and what it means to follow him. Perhaps more important still is that parents model what it looks like to follow Jesus by the way they live their lives. Modeling is so important because many aspects of the Christian life will be caught instead of taught. The best gift parents can give their youth is the gift of being a living-breathing, walking-talking example of what it looks like to follow Jesus. Practically speaking, God is saying to parents: “Be the person you want your children to become.”

ONE-ON-ONE DISCIPLESHIP

These are generally informal yet very intentional meeting times where a youth will be paired up with a mentor of the same gender who will seek to help them grow in their relationship with Jesus.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

This is designed to be a time of in-depth teaching as well as a time where the youth can ask questions and learn to apply God’s word to their everyday lives.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT YOUTH GROUP

Youth group designed to be a time for follow up, fun, and relationship building. The youth group meets on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 6:30-8:30 pm.
